Widow's Bay Review - Apple’s Twisted “Widow’s Bay” is Like Nothing Else on Television

They will “team up” again, after they both starred in Perry Mason.

Seconded. Stephen Root should be in more things.

Oh helllllll yeah

Him as "town oddball" is all I needed to read. But If they don't do *something* with a red Swingline, even small or subtle, I'll be disappointed.

He was, for lack of a better term, a beast in The Beast In Me. Sly, seductive and incredibly maniacal towards the end.

If you get a chance to check out Agatha Christie's Towards Zero on Britbox he's amazing in that one as well.

Yes he was. Everything he does is brilliant.

It’s the Welsh spelling of Reece, which is sometimes spelled Reese.

Yes, he does.

His full name is Matthew Rhys Evans. I read that the reason why he goes by Matthew Rhys is because there was another actor named Matthew Evans in the Equity union and he decided to use Rhys as a professional surname so as not to cause confusion between them.

Jesus, that guy is a real SICKO *subscribes to Apple TV*

I also really like those shows. I'm not against adaptations; in fact, I'll definitely watch The Stormlight Archive show and the Mistborn movie trilogy that Apple is making. And it's obvious that established IP is important for a service that's still growing without a content library. My point is that there needs to be a better balance, because TV is too predictable and relies too heavily on expanded universes and established IPs, even on prestigious channels like HBO.

Lessons in Chemistry is one of their very best shows too.

As a service without a library, only with original shows, they grow more slowly, but I think they're closer to their ideal point than ever. I completely understand them acquiring the Cosmere universe, because it could be a big thing for them, but I still believe that total originality, and even strangeness, can be the biggest driver of the brand.

Best Medicine is so fun. It took me a couple of episodes to get into the wide range of quirk, but now I love all the characters and get excited to see a new episode is out. Though I think it's done for this season now. Hopefully since it's a network show it gets the full 20+ episodes order next season. The amount of huge infections diseases that town is gonna face next year! It's also a US remake of the British series Doc Martin (the actor plays his father!) which is also great. Slightly more serious than Best Medicine, but the small town quirk is there just the same.

No.
